In order that those skilled in the art may describe the exact manner in which I have carried it out.

From a point, 6, within the glass, near its bottom, there passes along its wall or side a longed above the upper edge of the glass to forin a mouth-piece, d. I have shown this tube elliptical in cross-section; ,but it may be made of any desired shape.

The top of the glass is partially covered by a flaring curved cover, 0, to prevent the liquid escaping while the user is drinking through the mouth-piece d, and also to prevent-any of the froth on the liquid from coming in contact with the lips or mustache of the drinker. As the user draws the liquid from a point com paratively near the bottom of the glass, where claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

As a new article of manufacture, the drink- I ing -vessel having the body A, tube B, projecting mouthrpiece (2, cover 0, and opening a, substantially as described. 7
